I found it interesting, to say the least, about comments made on yelp.com. There’s almost 60 of them, some wonderfully complimentary, others critical in certain areas. All in all I believe there’s tremendous value in sharing information. Although positive feedback is great, constructive criticism is helpful to be told what needs our attention. In any case I think you may find this entertaining and some useful info from other Yelp commentators.

This apple cake, is one of our most popular because it tastes great and is VEGAN and Wheat-Free.
It was discontinued last year due to an ingredient, non dairy cream cheese which become unavailable from our supplier.
That disappointed many of our customers who really liked it’s gourmet quality and complex flavors. But it’s back now and hopefully here to stay. The cake looks the same, and the taste difference with the new ingredient, tofutti, is negligible. Still available in any size and buy the slice.

Due to the huge success on Valentine’s Day, we are now offering the Chocolate Raspberry Passion Cake everyday in our pastry case.
This is our super moist vegan chocolate cake layered with raspberry and passion fruit crème and topped with fresh raspberries. We use real raspberry juice and passion fruit puree so the flavors are intense and delicious. The Chocolate Raspberry Passion is $14 and big enough for two to share. So, if you missed it on Valentine’s Day, come by and try our newest Vegan creation.

Yvette and friend (eeks I forgot his name!!) recently re-located to LA from NYC. They found us through a green site, I think it was greentopia?
Anyway I need to connect with them again to get all their info.
But the point of all this is that because of Valentine’s Day, a holiday week-end, we had almost no selection left in our bakery cases.
So I grabbed a peanut butter cookie hot out of the oven and smothered it in our barley malt sweetened choclate.
I wanted to make a good impression on these new Angelenos. They loved the cookie. Hope they comment on this story so I can get all my facts correct!

All our soups are vegan EXCEPT on Mondays, when it’s the best chicken soup since your Mom made some. Here’s the current menu until February 25th: Check our daily soup menu here
